THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Conventions of a magazine cover
- 1. Mel Saunders
- 2. Above is an example of a magazine and the key features that a magazine cover will include.
- 3. The Masthead The masthead is the name of the magazine, for example, 'Empire' or 'Heat'. This will always be shown at the top of the magazine cover to simply let people know what magazine they are buying The masthead usually has the largest font of all the text on the magazine cover The colour of the masthead will often coordinate with the main image.
- 4. The Main Cover Line The main cover line lets the audience know who or what the main feature of the magazine is going to be, for example, a film or a music band. The main cover line usually has the second largest font of all the text on the magazine cover, after the masthead.
- 5. The Cover Lines The cover lines tell the audience what stories are going to be inside the magazine. The language of the cover lines often makes the reader want to look inside and read on, therefore making them purchase the magazine. The colour of the text in the cover lines is normally the same colour as the main cover line, however the size of the font is smaller.
- 6. The Main Image The main image is often the first thing the reader would look at. It is of the main story or feature within the magazine, especially if it is a film or sport magazine.
